Alekks -> RE: Has anybody had problems burning cds (7/6/2004 1:50:54 AM)

I had some problems as well. I ordered 2 digital downloads. One for my friend who is still held hostage by 56k dialup and would take forever to download it at his house. After the downloads completed, I burned the two images to two different CD-Rs and noted the serial numbers.
Tryning to run the installation on my machine via the CD-R proved fruitless, I kept getting compression failure messages regarding the initial .avi file. So, I ran the installer from the hard drive and it installed flawlessly. I then took the other CD-R to my friend's house and it would not install there either. I kept getting an error message regarding one of the .pdf files and then crc errors. So, I tried to copy the file from the cd to his hard drive and that failed also.
I did eventually get it to work by burning the install file to a slower-speed rated CD-RW disc and made sure it would at least copy the file from that cd to my system. I then took that CD-RW to my friend's house and it installed without a problem....he has been playing it ever since. :)
This was at least a minor annoyance as I had purchased the CD on demand option, so we will be getting the cd for the game in a week or so, but it would have been very frustrating if I could not have gotten the game installed on his system from the digital download. Worked out fine in the end and now we are both playing the game heavily.
